Phylogenetic systematics of #Juncaceae
This new #AJB research by Reed Kenny, Lenka Záveská Drábková & Daniel Potter resolves long-standing questions as to the relationships between species in the Juncaceae (Rush family).

Photos from today's hike (plant edition):
Man, wild lilies and orchids really are the best. I think because they are so uncommon around my usual haunts, I just love them so much.

A #deer , but I am not certain on the other relative shared below-- possibly some type of #rush ( #juncus ssp.). They have a sort of curly Q appearance to an extent. #upnorth #wisconsin #whitetaileddeer #botany #plantID #art #artist #artists #photo #photography #naturephotography #hike Peace #love

By sampling faeces, we find geese, ducks & shorebirds disperse seeds of "toad rush" #Juncus bufonius across Europe. But this is a species complex, so we investigate Which taxa get dispersed where? @ebdonana @UoM_EES @KaneBrides @NgelesOrtiz @rausangar98 @IciarJimM @DPavonJordan
At 33C in #Doñana, remaining wetlands dry out fast. It took hours to find enough green #Juncus bufonius for our #WaterZoo study relating plant genetics to #dispersal by waterbirds @ajgreen_lab @ebdonana @KrstnGrc @UoM_EES @jkrowan @chavanleeuwen @DPavonJordan @AdamLovasKiss
Hot but successful day spent looking for toad rush #Juncus bufonius in #Wigan for our new #WaterZoo project on #seeddispersal by #waterbirds 1/2 @ebdonana @ajgreen_lab @NgelesOrtiz @KaneBrides @jkrowan @MMUEcolEnv @UoM_EES @AdamLovasKiss @KrstnGrc
